Smart humor is lost on most around here.

You have to keep it to fart jokes and "good thing she looks like her mamma" for most of these window lickers.

It would be nice...

I tell you what, as much as I don't want to, I find myself liking Cam Newton more and more. He has done a great job of using his talents to give back to the community. That's a great story, thanks for sharing.

Tennesee Titans fan Rosemary Plorin of Nashville attended Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers with her fourth-grade daughter. On Monday, she sent us this note she wrote to Panthers’ quarterback Cam Newton:

Dear Mr. Newton,

Congratulations on your win in Nashville today. Our team played well, but yours played better. Kudos to the Panthers organization.

That game happened to be my nine year old daughter’s first live NFL experience. She was surprised to see so many Panthers’ fans sitting in our section of the stadium; that doesn’t happen much at fourth grade football games. And she was excited we were near the end zone, so we would be close to the “action,” particularly in the second half.

Because of where we sat, we had a close up view of your conduct in the fourth quarter. The chest puffs. The pelvic thrusts. The arrogant struts and the ‘in your face’ taunting of both the Titans’ players and fans. We saw it all.

I refuse to believe you don’t realize you are a role model. You are paid millions of dollars every week to play hard and be a leader. In the off season you’re expected to make appearances, support charities, and inspire young kids to pursue your sport and all sports. With everything the NFL has gone through in recent years, I’m confident they have advised that you are, by virtue of your position and career choice, a role model.

And because you are a role model, your behavior brought out like behavior in the stands. Some of the Panthers fans in our section began taunting the hometown fans. Many Titans fans booed you, a few offering instructive, but not necessarily family friendly, suggestions as to how you might change your behavior.

My daughter sensed the change immediately – and started asking questions. Won’t he get in trouble for doing that? Is he trying to make people mad? Do you think he knows he looks like a spoiled brat?

I didn’t have great answers for her, and honestly, in an effort to minimize your negative impact and what was otherwise a really fun day, I redirected her attention to the cheerleaders and mascot.

I could tell she was still thinking about it as we boarded a shuttle back to our car. “I guess he doesn’t have kids or a Mom at home watching the game,” she added.

I don’t know about your family life Mr. Newton, but I think I’m safe in saying thousands of kids watch you every week. You have amazing talent and an incredible platform to be a role model for them. Unfortunately, what you modeled for them today was egotism, arrogance and poor sportsmanship.

Is that what your coaches and mentors modeled for you, Mr. Newton?

Jesus fucking christ now losing fans are going to cry about a loss and blame the winning team. This country is over run with pussies

But the thousands of drunk fans yelling and cussing that she subjected her obviously over sensitive child to wasn't an issue at this game? Did she not know it was football ? I could go on and on but you get the point.

Exactly

If she doesn't want her daughter to see grown people act like 2nd graders she's in the wrong fuckin place.

[FEETDOWN]

Somebody better warn her not to go to a coot game. Some sororitute might offer her a hit of blast off the corner of a credit card........

I can't stand how cocky he acts on the field but all in all I will say he is a alright guy

[quackaholic22]

I'm starting to enjoy watching him myself. I didn't care for him at all until last year. Developing into a good person to look up to.

I tell you what, as much as I don't want to, I find myself liking Cam Newton more and more. He has done a great job of using his talents to give back to the community. That's a great story, thanks for sharing.
